Barea, Ibaka interested in ACB in case lockout persists

Puerto Rican international star JJ Barea revealed that he has ACB in his mind in case the lock out drags for a long time.

According to one of the player’s quotes: “I guess my plan B would be Spain.” Barea would only consider playing in Spain, but stressed out that he hopes it doesn’t have to come to that.

In any case, Barea would be a perfect match for ACB as he has always excelled in FIBA competitions.

Another player who said he would consider a return to ACB is Serge Ibaka who started his career there.

As the, soon to be, Spanish international stated to ACB website: “If there is a lockout, and there are not many complications to play in ACB, I would return (to Manresa) to play.” said Ibaka and went on to say “I would prefer to play to stay in shape rather than stay idle.”
